Did you try Void Live on the same USB device you want to install it on?

I've seen this many times: some devices get listed as "USB Sto= rage",
and some as "USB HDD" (even sticks), and it won't get mat= ched by the
BIOS, even though it's all USB.

The solution was to select the thing manually from the boot menu - not
the BIOS setup. But then it may be the case that your BIOS is just
unable to boot on that particular device. If you didn't try the Voi= d
Live on the same device, I would advise you to do so.
